" can consistently solve A + B under 10-15 mins but i get slimed on C" Your contest history shows otherwise though, you seem to solve C fairly consistently.

The site looks great , very impressive given it's a personal project. Just have a small doubt though, how accurate is the ICPC readiness tab? It says my level of readiness is 63/100, but I highly doubt it given I haven't made it past newbie after 3 years of CP. What criteria is used to judge the readiness? If I solve a bunch of hard problems by peeking editorials, will that boost my readiness score and inflate it past my actual skill level?
Although it does say it's gonna take me 9 months to be ready given my current pace, so it's fair I guess. I'll just take it with a grain of salt for now.

I see, that figures. People who progress fast here have something in common, top tier math/reasoning skills or programming exp from a relatively young age, or both. You seem to be quite the overachiever. Good luck for 2028.

Coding and humanities sounds like a fever dream combination, mind sharing how you ended up here? Interesting that some people dedicate their sole attention to this platform(like me) and achieve no results whatsoever, whilst some people only solve problems in passing during free time and progress much faster(seems to be the case for you). Wonder what the real bottleneck is during improvement.

Nice pfp btw. And yeah, I've solved a few problems in every rating tier b/w 800-2000, although higher rated solves are relatively sparse, but I'm yet to see much improvement(if any at all). I'll try increasing the volume, spamming div 2 C and D problems from past 50 contests and see where it gets me.

I got over a 100 contests, got close to pupil in March of 2025 where I fumbled a problem whose solution I figured but just forgot to handle the n = 1 test case, never got anywhere close to that (1200) ever since lol, I should've solved that problem on that fateful day. Congrats on reaching pupil in 45 contests man! Any tips/advice on getting there? Advice in the sense that was there any special strat/resources you used that worked out for you or is it just the same old solve problems till you break through strategy?

To be fair, the difficulty gradient of yesterday's Edu Round was more like a div 3 than that of a usual div 2 round.

The UI is really good man! And I like that it has the option to filter on the basis of most recently appeared contest problems, upsolving by having to go through contest archives is a bit tedious and annoying due to the slow loading time of this website. It's great for practice, hope to see more features on this site in the near future.

Is Java not faster than C#? Besides, C# is infamously called Microsoft Java, so what exactly is the difference when both languages feel so vastly similar to each other?

Hey man! What sections of CSES problemset did you focus on primarily?

Yeah, I'm not disheartened , I was just factually stating my progress(or lack thereof) over the past 2 years. I don't plan on giving up just yet. Best of luck to you as well. Thanks!

Been over 2 years and I still couldn't get to pupil, I'm definitely not one of those who considers it easy. Congratulations on getting there, as well as best of luck for the journey beyond it!

Whether you want to quit CP or not depends on how much you enjoy it. If it feels like a burden, either quit or reduce the time you dedicate to it and try exploring other domains (examples-> Machine Learning, web/app/game development, ethical hacking, pen testing etc) or anything that you might find enjoyable. If you enjoy it somewhat, keep going. Problems rated <1600 don't require you to know too many topics, if you can't solve even with editorials then try watching video solutions, that will help you as they explain their intuition and why they reach a particular conclusion and how they constructed a solution for the given problem. Shayan's YT channel has video solutions, TLE eliminators also upload post contest discussions quite frequently, you can try watching them. Good luck! Edit: This blog might help, https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/107174 .

You are really consistent though, crazy to think that you suffer from "IQ drops" as well.

*Not even making it to pupil in 1 year

These guys are national embarrassments ngl.

Thanks a lot for providing this updated extension! It was really tedious to revisit the previously up-solved problems, it's really convenient now.

I came up with the exact same implementation but it doesn't work for some reason, keeps giving me WA verdict on the 341st case of pretest 2. But glad to see that I had the right idea.

The best I can do is try.

Any updates ?
